COUNTY TAXES.
Work for the Board of
Supervisors.
AN INCREASE OF s54,618, 1856.
-.The Greatest Outrage Ever Per-
petrated in This or Any
Other Community

County Assessor Mason has COM
pleted the assessment roll for the year
1857, and has delivered the books to
the Board Of Supervisors, which is now
sittingas Board of Equalization. The
statement that the total value of all
property assessed is $54, ,6lS, ,7S6 greater
than it was in 1886 has created consid-
erable surprise, and among the small
property holders q great deal Of indig-
nation. Last year the value of all
property assessed was 81, $50, $50, and
this year it is $92, ,279 ,666, and as the
increase is found not ON the large hold
ings but on the small, there is some
reason for the outcry which is just
commencing to be heard. As soon as
the facts Of the case become generally
known, the columns of the newspapers
viii not be large enough to properly
express all that will be said on the
subjcct. Just at present the Super
visors are wrestling with the rolls,
which 80 far have been found to be
badly mixed w and the assessments
'u0nfusedly made. The overhauling of
the assessments has but Just COM
usenced, but enough errors have been
discovered already TO show how incom-
pctent Assessor Mason and the deputies
employed by him are, and how neg
lectful they were in ascertaining the
values of properties. To straighten
these out is task that will tax the
energies of the Supervisors to greater
extent than has ever been the case
heretofore. According to the footings
q the Assessor, the following compar-
ison is made with the figures of 1886:
